Operating Modes
Messaging
When the ENI/ENIW is connected to a programmable controller (and
connected to an Ethernet network), the controller can be accessed
from other devices on Ethernet, or initiate communications to other
EtherNet/IP devices.
The ENI/ENIW also support SMTP mail service, which allows a
controller to send email messages to any email address on the
network. The email can be used to initiate the transmission of data or
status information.
Device Compatibility
The ENI/ENIW are compatible with the following devices and
applications:
• All MicroLogix, SLC, PLC-5, CompactLogix, FlexLogix, and
ControlLogix controllers, which support DF1 Full-Duplex on an
available RS-232 port
• Personal Computers using the RSLinx (V2.30.00 and higher) DF1
Full-Duplex Driver
• Other DF1 Full-Duplex compliant products that have at least one
RS-232 port, for example, operator interface devices
• RSLinx (V2.31.00 and higher) Ethernet Driver
Series B Enhancements
The 1761-NET-ENI series B features the following enhancements:
• elimination of the need for two ENIs in a CompactLogix,
FlexLogix, or ControlLogix system using RSLogix 5000
• ability to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
• two new BOOTP options
The 1761-NET-ENIW has the same features as the 1761-NET-ENI, but
includes web-serving capabilities as discussed on page 1-9.
